1/8th mile time
I ran a best of 9.56 @ 72 MPH in the 1/8th with flowmasters, k&n, and street tires with factory 3.27 gears. I just got 3.73 gears installed about a month ago and was wondering what everyone's guess is as to what the stang will run now. If weather permits, I hope to take the stang to the track and see this weekend!

When I first ran my car I ran a 9.40@78.64 in the 1/8th. With the stock 3.27's after I switched them for my 3.73's I dropped down to 9.20's@79.xx. So best bet is that you pick up about a .1-.2 in the 1/8th

Oh by the way how does your car sound. I'm running the 3 chambers now, but I want to get something louder. I was just wondering if the 2 chambers had the same mellow tone that the 3 chambers do, but just louder. If they have close to the same tone as the 3 chambers I'll order them. If not I'll just cut my tail pipes off and add dumps to my 3 chambers.

I've never heard the 3 chambers, but I would recommend getting the 2 chambers. They sound pretty good on my car. If you do get turndowns put on with the 2 chamber flowmasters, your car should sound pretty mean. All you'll need after that is an x/h-pipe.
As for my earlier question, I don't know how much gain I'll pick up since my clutch has really been whining at me lately. I was hoping to get into the 9.30's with the gears. With a new clutch and some DR's, I think I should be able to run in the low 9's. ------------------ ------------ 1997 GT Flowmasters,K&N,3.27 gears RedSOHC |

With the clutch, gears, and D/R's I would feel safe to say that you would be in the low 9's.

When I replaced my 2.73s with my 3.73s I dropped .4 from 15.4 to 15.0@94.4 and a POS 60ft time. Both of those times to the track I didn't have traction, aka: street tires, so I need to steal someones drag radials......
BTW, you may notice that's 1/4 mile on mine. I haven't been to the 1/8 mile yet. ------------------ 1996 Mustang GTS [This message has been edited by 96GTS (edited 03-07-2001).] |

I've heard of a lot of 99+ GT's running anywhere from 8.80-9.10's in the 1/8th bone stock. The goal for my car is to try to get it to run consistent low 8's. Whenever I can find some money, I think I'll go with the 99+ ported & polished heads, high flow cats, and hide a small shot of nitrous. I think this combo would make for a nice sleeper car considering the reputation that the 97 GT's have.

Yah that could make for a nice sleeper, plus you should be able to get those heads alot cheaper then the FRP Hi-Po ones.

i just ran my 96 GT at the track the other day. It's still bone stock, right now. But my 1/8th mile time was ok. I wasn't having much luck with my launching that night

Hey Crumbie,
That would be a nice sleeper... (The looks in some of these folks faces makes it worth every dime...) To let you know, I'll be selling the Zex kit as my Procharger goes on tommorrow...
